All loose items including phones must go into complimentary lockers; metal detection before boarding. Extremely intense launches, inversions and rotating vehicles.
Expert tip
Notice the different car designs in the loading area; each uses independently programmed rotations and audio, so the motion feels a little different in every vehicle.
